Pheonix - Possibility of revival if killed.

Here's an idea for a new dark elixir troop:
The Phoenix is a powerful end game dark elixir unit. It's base hp is not as high as a dragons, but it has decent attack speed and dps. The most unique aspect of this unit is the possibility of Phoenix resurrecting upon death in full hp. The drawback is the Phoenix is extremely vulnerable during the resurrection phase. It becomes a ground unit when killed, and cannot move or attack; at this point, without ground support, the egg can be easily destroyed by cannons or ground facing xbows. It also takes 5 seconds for the Phoenix to resurrect. If the egg is killed before the 5 seconds, the Phoenix is lost forever. Upon resurrection, the Phoenix becomes an air unit again with full hp. The Phoenix burns away its lifeforce every second it is on the battlefield. The Hp removal can be reduced when the unit is levelled up.

The Phoenix
Type: Air Unit
Damage Type: ranged (2 squares)
Damage: 120/150/180
Attack speed: 1 attack/second; attack can split into two (damages two adjacent buildings or units at once - no splash damage on impact) - each attack deals full damage to both targets. If only one viable target, only one bolt is fired.
movement speed: 16
Target: Any
Housing space: 35
Hp: 1500 (no hp changes with level)
Hp removal (Phoenix loses HP/second): -100/-75/-50 Hp
Cost: 500/700/900 Dark Elixir
Training Time: 30 mins

Upon death, Phoenix becomes a Phoenix Egg. Phoenix Egg will reborn the Phoenix in 5 seconds at full hp unless it is destroyed by an enemy defence building or unit:

Phoenix Egg
Type: Ground, Immobile
Hp: 180/200/240
Rebirth time: 5 seconds

I like the idea of a Phoenix, the resurrection ability could potentially be OP after everything is considered. Could work though, and I like the idea of bolts as you mentioned. I'm guessing the bolts would be similar to inferno tower?

Perhaps the resurrect time could be a bit longer for game balance, but i think the idea opens up more strategic army compositions. Right now, most trophy hunting army compositions either involves all air (ballonions, dragons) or all ground units (gowiwi, gowipe, hogs etc). This unit would on the other hand works well with both air or ground base armies, making it possible to mix it up a little with different army compositions (more so ground than air, but if ground targeting defences were destroyed first, it can integrate well into air armies)

i think it might cost a little too much dark elixir unless it was dark barracks lvl 6

How would it be anymore useful to ground troops than a dragon? I like the fact it's health gradually burns away and then can be resurrected but I'm not seeing anything groundbreaking in it's attack that would set it enough apart from a dragon. If it could shoot at multiple building at once like disco infernos or set buildings on fire for gradual damage temporarily that would be cool.

Something like this? :D

Yep, I wrote in the stats it can shoot at 2 targets at once. Trying to keep it at 2 so it doesnt become too overpowered.
